More Songs About The Sun by Pye Corner Audio is out in a few short weeks and The Breath Of Now has been offered up as the second single/trailer for the album.
The Breath Of Now features author Ian Rankin on spoken word vocals, over a lush, cinematic soundtrack, rumbling bass, rolling chords, synth strings all combining to create a compelling five minutes.
I ordered More Songs About The Sun on the strength of lead Cycle featuring Andy Bell and, based on these two songs alone, it's shaping up to be one of the albums of the year.
Broken lives, empty streets
The dust of ages, the breath of now
Low rise, high rent
Blood sucked from every stone
A villain’s stealth and silence
No heroes come out at night
No heroes come here at night
Stealing your way through the empty streets
Echoes of footsteps, and misspent hours
The creep, creep, creep of shadow filled shoes
No one is near
No one can hear,
The creep and the breathing
The breathing that creeps
No heroes come out at night
No heroes come here at night
Everywhere looks like a tunnel
The dark won’t take your hand and lead you home
So you drive,
And you drive
And you drive
And everything looks like a tunnel
Your life, your kids, your job, your friends
A tunnel
Which way did you come in?
No lights, no signal, no exit, no turns
The dark won’t lead you home
No lights, no signal, no exit, no turns
The dark won’t lead you home
No heroes come here at night
No heroes come here at night
Looks like you can't go wrong buying this album. I've ordered it too.
